Turncoat said:What of people who are chemically drained of said willpower, or born with a deficiency in it?
Brain chemistry is not set in stone. We are wired to be responsive to our environment and external factors. Put any man under the right pressure, he will react.
What makes brain chemistry change?
Do you not believe that people are born with pre-set advantages, disadvantages, and limitations?
Is willpower a choice?
It can come from within, or be forced onto us by circumstances. For example, Assange spent 7 years in a small room out of fear of USA extradition. Face the right circumstances, willpower follows.
What makes for that willpower surfacing there and not at other points?
Is willpower to you just a matter of throwing yourself through trials?
